OOHG -- They even had "baby octopi." In Boston, where I lived for a while, squid and octopi were commonly served. They even have an Octopus Bar in Seattle. I do have a "flower blossom squid recipe" that I stopped woking. The prep time in cleaning the squid was a pain (kids didn't like it either.) Red peppers, (basil,mint, cilantro) garlic, lime zest, fish sauce ... etc. Served on rice or noodles. I even disguised it in a burrito one time. NADA. I thought it was great.
